Chapter 848: Returning To Exorcist City

Upon hearing that, the man raised his eyes.

The True Buddha looked at him and continued, “Actually, he tied his Red String on Phoenix, thus allowing Phoenix to have a broken marriage at the very least. In other words, he willingly let himself be manipulated by Phoenix just to be together with Phoenix. You and Phoenix are not destined to be together. Why are you so determined?”

The man remained on his knees and his black hair was blown about by the wind continuously, “Buddha, you said it yourself, the marriage was incomplete. If Phoenix is reincarnated, is she still destined to be alone?”

“She is the Ancient Phoenix and is destined to return to the Buddha’s gate.” The Buddha’s words answered Bodhi’s question.

The man’s voice was very soft as he said while coughing, “Then I beg you. Please set Phoenix free of her destiny to complete her marriage.”

The True Buddha looked at the man in shock, “You kneeled for 9999 times just to fulfill a marriage for others?”

“I know that I’m also a part of destiny as well.” The man held his chest, with blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, “But I hope that one day, she will no longer be the one lonely existence in Buddhism. She is a Phoenix and she should live freely, to fall in love with the person she likes, and to do the things that she loves.”

The True Buddha looked at him without blinking, “Even though you would not recognize her when you go down to the secular world, you still want to do this?”

“Yes.” The man raised his head, the light in his eyes was as gentle as the snowy waters of Mountain Tenya.

The True Buddha laughed, “People always talk about the Tribulation of Buddha that happens once in ten thousand years, do you know what that is?”

The man shook his head.

“The True Buddha had been destroyed and it’s difficult to return to the righteous path.” The True Buddha looked at him and said, “You are the only Dharma fate I have left in Mountain Tenya. Everyone who had become a Buddha must pass by you, but no one had ever stopped to water you. Only when Phoenix appeared, things started to change. And that gave me hope. But I never thought that you would wake me up this way. My time is running out. I avoided the Sound of Buddha set by Honored Sir to tell you this, because I want you to know that this time, when you go to the secular world, Golden Lotus will also be reincarnated. According to destiny, you must be fooled and mistake her as Phoenix in order to deceive everybody, giving Phoenix a slim chance of survival. Bodhi, everything has a cause and its consequence. Let me ask you again, do you really wish to do this?”

The man nodded, his eyes were as clear as moonlight, “I do.”

The True Buddha shook his head, “Do you know what you are giving up on?”

What you have given up was the ranking of Buddhism that is able to salvage all sentient beings.

What you have given up was any possibility of her falling in love with you.

“Just for the fulfillment of others?” Buddha asked.

The man chuckled lightly, “I was originally just a Bodhi tree. Whether I am the purest Dharma fate of Heaven and Earth or not, it was because of her that I exist. I remember when she was young, she ran over to water me. The Gods and Buddhas persuaded her not to waste the mythical water on me, but she said that it was not a waste at all. Because in the whole world within the Six Paths, there were many blooming golden lotuses, but there was only one Bodhi tree. There was no other scene like this in the world. She gave me a name so that I was no longer just a lone Bodhi. I know that she likes that man. Since she likes him, why not fulfill them?”

The mythical bird was listening beside them. It wanted to ask, Then what about you? If you give her everything, then what about you?

However, it seemed that the man never thought about it. His handsome and elegant face looked like a prince deep in his sleep.

The True Buddha was touched, “Perhaps that is for the best. You are Bodhi, so there are 108 Dharma Bones in your body and all of them are creations. But none of those are real, except the one in the middle of your rib cage. After you leave here, I will take away this Dharma Bone of Bodhi and use it to pave the way for the rebirth of Phoenix. At the same time, you will forget everything that happened here. You will then become a human being, a pawn of destiny until Phoenix gets her six senses back. Only then will this memory of yours be restored…”

The Sanskrits gradually faded and thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.

It was just as destiny foretold.

Bodhi turned into a human and met Ni Feng, who was disguised as the Phoenix Girl.

At that time, he already had a ghost baby with him.

The ghost baby never knew what the man was looking for. There had never been any light in his eyes, until one day when Ni Feng called out the name, “Jing Wushuang.”

Finally, a smile appeared on the man’s face, reflecting on hers…

After that came everything that Helian Wei Wei had encountered, until the resurrection of Golden Lotus and her tribulations in Exorcist City!

Boom!

A sickle pierced through from outside the city!

The son of the King of Hell who had a pacifier in his mouth was suspended in midair, with a snake monster which was about to turn into a demon under his feet. His black hair was so stylish in the wind!

“How dare you bite my face, bastard! Only Xiao Gou is allowed to kiss my face. Who are you to even touch me?! Get lost!”

The son of the King of Hell brandished that huge black axe, looking so vicious and brutal that very few dared to offend him.

The demons had never thought that he would appear here.

In a moment of hesitance, a thunderous sound could be heard in the city. Nobody knew what was going on.

Ni Feng paused midstride. She glanced toward the outside of the city and said softly to the exorcists behind her, “I think there’s something wrong. It’s abnormal. There must be a spy in the city. Did you guys see anything suspicious?”

A senior exorcist suddenly thought of something, “Yes, before I went to the Ni family, I saw a few people in disguises coming in from outside the city, and they headed to the Zhuge family. There are still people entering the city at this time, now that I think about it, it is indeed a little strange.”

“Zhuge family?” Ni Feng’s eyes narrowed sharply. She furrowed her brows, looking at Madam Zhuge who came along with them, “Auntie, who are those people? Why would they enter the city at this time?”

Madam Zhuge did not expect that things would be exposed so quickly. Her heart beat a little faster, but she replied naturally, “They were just some merchants taking refuge. They were close to the Exorcist City and they seemed to find difficulty escaping from danger, so they entered the city instead.”

“Is that so?” Ni Feng looked at Madam Zhuge and shook her head gently, feeling very compassionate, “I didn’t want to do this. I know you felt distressed about Brother Yun and wanted to keep him safe. But what is the situation now? There are thousands of demons outside the city, and there must be no threat in the Exorcist City. Now that Brother Yun has already been possessed by hostile ghosts, I didn’t expect that he would disguise himself to enter the city, much less hide in the Zhuge Manor. Auntie, you said that those people are merchants. What merchants would disguise themselves before entering the manor?”

As soon as Ni Feng uttered those words, all the exorcists turned to look at Madam Zhuge, condemning her…
